best practices for AVPlayer Playback implementing Slow Network Connections in Objective-C?
I'm stuck trying to After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I'm working on an iOS app that uses AVPlayer to stream video content from a remote server. The scenario arises when the network connection is slow or intermittent; the video playback becomes jittery, and I often get an behavior message saying `Player item failed with behavior: behavior Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11800 "The operation could not be completed. (AVFoundationErrorDomain behavior -11800.)"`. I've tried implementing the `AVPlayerItemStatus` observer to monitor the status of the player, but it doesn't seem to help in managing buffering. Here's a snippet of my implementation: ```objective-c AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videoURL]; AVPlayerItem *playerItem = player.currentItem; [playerItem addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"status" options:0 context:nil]; - (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context { if ([keyPath isEqualToString:@"status"]) { if (playerItem.status == AVPlayerItemStatusFailed) { NSLog(@"Failed to load: %@", playerItem.behavior.localizedDescription); } } } ``` I have also tried adjusting the `preferredForwardBufferDuration`, but the performance is still inconsistent. I'm unsure how to properly handle the buffering and ensure a smooth playback experience, especially on slower connections. Are there any best practices or configurations I should be aware of to improve the streaming performance? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Windows. I'm working with Objective-C in a Docker container on Ubuntu 20.04. What's the best practice here? Has anyone dealt with something similar?
